Code: Select all

geval("(cos(sim.time))")

Or is this bad for algodoo?

What does geval do?
And did you try simultaneously spawning several circles with that set to vel? Methinks it would repeatedly spawn multiple circles with the exact same velocity.
And how do you turn that into a scene.my thingymabobber? I'm OK with this, because it can be used multiple times in a scene without failing.
And if I stick it into my config, will it automatically appear in every scene that I open?

And I suggest they add a math.random function!

geval is the same as eval, but in the global scope.

Yep

What's eval?
What's global scope?
Slightly off-topic, but what's the math.floor thing? TC42, you know what I'm talking about.

eval - evaluates the function in the current scope.
geval - evaluates the function from the root (root scope).
math.floor - same as in javascript, if you have a number like 45.678, if you do math.floor(45.678), (im guessing the syntax here) you will get 45, if you do math.floor(10.2) you will get 10. Basically it removes the decimal.

Define "evaluates the function in the current scope" and everything else you just said.

evaluates the function in the current scope - does the function where it is (its country, or branch (of a tree) )
evaluates the function from the root (root scope) - does the function from the globe or root (of that tree).

I still have no idea what you are talking about.

oh...

There is no point to use geval or eval here. Just search "random" in script forum. There was a lot of examples.
